¿Qué es el CBCT? El CBCT es una técnica de imagenología médica que utiliza un tipo especial de tomografía computarizada (TC) para obtener imágenes tridimensionales de estructuras anatómicas del cuerpo humano. La introducción del CBCT en las planificaciones de ortodoncia invisible ha sido un gran avance en términos de seguridad y predictibilidad. Poder “ver” las […]
Desafíos de la Sobremordida En los más de 20 años que llevamos trabajando con ortodoncia invisible, hemos pasado de considerar algunas maloclusiones “imposibles” a atrevernos a resolver cualquier tipo de caso con ellos. Una de las condiciones clínicas que más dificultad presentaba en los inicios de los alineadores (y sigue ocurriendo en determinadas circunstancias) fue […]
It is not a question to make us feel guilty. It is just a thought-provoking question, to think about the impact we can have on our patients. We are dedicated to moving teeth, to improving people's smiles. And this change that we can generate in them is not only going to have an impact on their mouth, [...]
Maxillary compression is a relatively frequent problem seen in our daily practice. This osseodental discrepancy presented by the patient can be treated in different ways depending on the severity of the discrepancy and, of course, depending on the patient's age. In fact, we usually use age as a reference to determine the approximate maturation of the maxillary [...]
With the increase in the number of adult patients in our practices, it is common to see cases with diminished bone support or even patients who have been treated with orthodontics as children and who have a periodontal defect caused by these treatments. When a patient with these characteristics comes to our practice, our main concern is to ensure that they do not worsen [...]
I am writing this blog just after the SAS The Next Level event we held in Madrid. As Dani says, we are still with a bit of an emotional hangover. Before I go into detail on the subject of the blog, I would like to thank again the great welcome and support of all the doctors who gave us a [...]
When planning Class III treatment with aligners, the movements that appear in the software can be confusing. No platform is going to tell us the limits of distalisation, nor how the planned movements are really going to occur... And neither can it reflect the effects that the elastics will have on both arches. The reality [...]
Jaw expansion is a relatively common treatment for growing patients. Many children have a narrow jaw for various reasons, whether due to habits, a respiratory problem, genetics or inadequate function. This jaw deficiency can be treated with a variety of appliances: Hawley plates, disjunctors, jaw tracks, [...]
Skeletal anchorage has been a revolution in modern orthodontics, allowing us to go beyond the "limits" in extreme cases and avoiding surgical treatment in many of them. Despite all their benefits, micro-screws are not a perfect tool: they can cause discomfort or canker sores for the patient and, on occasions, they can present mobility and even [...]
Talking about what aligners are made of is probably a somewhat "cumbersome" and unattractive subject. We all like to see cases, especially if they are complex, and enjoy the magnificent mechanics that some professionals apply to solve them. But materials and orthodontics are condemned to understand each other. As far as [...]
